Many people are using their iPad to take notes for a meeting or a lecture. After trying most of the note taking apps on iPad, I really find a good app.It makes you feel like you are using a smooth high-quality pen and it meets all the need for you to take a note on iPad. I cannot say how good it is, just try thebest note taking iPad app

I just downloaded Scribbie Basic and I like it so far. The app records audio and syncs the audio with the notes that you write.

You might want to add this to your list. This was built by VP level product managers from US top Enterprise software company to solve their personal needs and grew to be a real independent App.
I've been waiting for it for a while after I've seen a video on Youtube a month ago . This App gives you the flexibility of freeform layout on taking notes, but with the unique capability of having unlimited hierarchical lists with expand/collapse, drag/drop and moving things around like nothing else out there.
Honestly, this what Evernote or OneNote should've been like. I think these guys at MagicalPad get it; it is like Curio for iPad, it can be used for meeting notes, checklists, school notes or notes. you can take notes in structured way without being bound to lines and pages as other notes or outlines force you into. The coolest thing is that it comes packed with Dropbox export and import, Google Docs, Evernote and email. You can not only export, but import content as well. They support PDF, OPML, TXT, RTF, and their native MPX for sharing files. You can import and export OPML from and to many apps and softwares.
They don't have handwriting, but if you like typing this is great, you can easily search for content later and you get the freeform layout that you love about the pen.

Looks like this could be a little outdated list. Checkout Groovy Notes for iPad. There can't be a better app for executives and likes. It has voice recording ( comes handy in a meeting) and really awesome UI.

Just so you take this serious, its a Fetured App and the Top Seller for 8 weeks in a row in App a world for Playbook.

you should have a look at Beesy, http://www.beesapps.com/beesy-ipad-to-do/, interesting way to address the problem of business meeting notes. I've been testing it since it went out, it's quite good.
Interesting as well to generate automatic To-Do from your notes and follow-up on them.

This is a good list - I have tried a number of them, but does not include my favourite, ZoomNotes which has an unlimited zoom. They just released a new version too, so you can now use typed text, and it has voice recording and other features too.

I downloaded the free viewer version before I bought it.

I recommend NotesDeck - my notes show up on all my devices instantly (iPad, Mac and iPhone). NotesDeck syncs with Evernote and Dropbox and Simplenote so all my notes from other apps are already in it!

So much cleaner than that yellow Notes app. Much more professional. ----> http://www.notesdeck.com

Hi Bfrench,

Thank you for your post, you have selected good note-taking apps for managers.

I’m Soraya Soula, I working for BeesApps company.

BeesApps started with a simple observation: most of the actions on business are taken from the meeting notes. That's why we developed Beesy because there was no tool to manage professional activity in a single one.

Concerning your post, you illustrate our idea that they are many differents apps available to be more productive at work. All these app serve differents needs.

Beesy provides interesting benefits for managers and executives as well as from a taking notes in a meeting, each task can be assigned to teams and clients and at the same time, manage their project. In addition, Beesy works on Eisenhower matrix, that means the prioritization of tasks and different filters to delegate tasks easily, monitoring and follow teams everyday.

I ‘ll be very interested to discuss about this workflow, and if you want to try Beesy and give us your feedback.

Regards
Soraya
